Simply Jews: London riots illuminated

17 August 2011

Not explained, mind you - it's not a poet's job. Explanations are for people digging own graves.

Pisa said...: Even if I am somehow able to pick my jaw up off the floor long enough to type something intelligent, every time I try I bump into an impenetrable 5 words wall at the boundary of sanity: "Zero tolerance on Ground Zero". The implications are turning my skin into a ski resort for all kind of crawling stuff.

Since I'm still picking the pieces of my own brain, I'll make do with the words of a commenter on a thread about the causes of the riots, who wrote that the rioters are "culturally impoverished". To paraphrase these wise words, I'd say that a person who thinks that theft is an "aesthetic matter" brought about by "Zero tolerance on Ground Zero" is morally bankrupt.; 9:22 AM, August 17, 2011
